In this case, let’s hope what really happens in Vegas do stay in Vegas.
Just north of Las Vegas, a giant, satirical statue of a naked Donald Trump emerged seemingly overnight.
The naked building portrays the former president in full buff, complete with genitals, and has reportedly been titled ‘Crooked and Obscene’ by its creators.
It stands more than 45 feet tall and weighs about 5,000 pounds, officials said — and sits happily above a stretch of I-15 that connects Nevada with Utah.
The installation was first found on Saturday in a fenced plot at the side of the road and has caused a combination of disgust and confusion.
Still standing on Monday, it was built ahead of a Kamala Harris rally – and will now be toured across the US.

When asked about the purpose of the construction, the spokesperson simply said, “to spark conversations.”
The representative again did not want to reveal their identity as the statue continues to draw attention and go viral.
Outlets like TMZ have picked up the story as it continues to gain traction.
